This was a good, fast, an hearty meal. The best part may be that there was very little dishes to clean up. If I made this again, I would mix the peas and carrots into the tuna/pasta dish instead of having it on the side. The girls all ate it, except for Anna. She thought it tasted bad (I don't think she actually tried it).

1. Heat the broth and water in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat to a boil. Stir in the pasta. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the pasta is tender, stirring often. Do not drain.2. Stir the soup, milk and tuna in the skillet. Top with the cheese. Stir the bread crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the tuna mixture. Cook until the cheese is melted.

This slow cooker meal was great for the adults, not so much for the
girls however. It was a little spicy for the girls under six needed a lot of
sour cream to dip their burritos in order to eat it. Anna and Emily did their
best to finish it. The adults enjoyed it greatly. Hindsight, I would have only
put half of the chipotle peppers in. Jen did teach me how to properly fold a burritos
so the insides, remain inside.

2.Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8-10
hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Remove meat from cooker. Using 2 forks, pull
meat apart into shreds. Place meat in a large bowl. Stir in cooking liquid to
reach desired consistency. Divide meat among warm tortilla, spooning it just
below the center. Top with cheese.

No pictures. Worst meal I have ever cooked! I don't know if the tomatoes were rancid or maybe the chicken, but it was horrible. I ate a few bites and then threw out the rest. I strongly do not recommend cooking this, or maybe it was just a bad batch.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until it is no longer pink on the outside. Stir in the bell peppers, onion, jalapeño pepper, garlic, chili powder, dried oregano (if using), and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the rice, tomatoes with juice, fresh oregano (if using), and pepper. Heat through, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
